Aleksander Barkov got a goal for Florida in its 4-1 loss to the Senators on Saturday night.

Barkov scored the game’s first goal at 7:38 of the first period, and that was it for the Panthers. The 19-year-old has nine goals and 20 points this season. Jonathan Huberdeau and Brian Campbell picked up the helpers.

He has two points in two games since returning from the minors this past Saturday. Florida dealt Sean Bergenheim to Minnesota on Tuesday to help clear up some of the team's logjam at forward, which could lead to more opportunities for players like Trocheck. He has five goals and 15 points in 30 games this campaign.

He scored a pair of goals on nine shots against Buffalo on Saturday and was scoreless versus Tampa Bay on Sunday. Pirri has 11 goals and 13 points in 30 games this campaign. He missed nine games with an upper-body injury.

Jonathan Huberdeau registered three helpers in a 4-3 win against Tampa Bay on Sunday.

He skated alongside Jaromir Jagr and Aleksander Barkov in the match. Huberdeau went into the game without a point in his previous four outings. He hasn't scored a goal since Jan. 29, so he's been stuck at nine on the year. Huberdeau has 36 points in 60 games.

The Florida Panthers came back from a 2-0 deficit to win 5-3 due to the work of forwards such as Jussi Jokinen and Brad Boyes.

Jokinen generated three assists apiece in the comeback effort. Brandon Pirri had a strong night of his own, scoring two important goals on Saturday. Jaromir Jagr was unable to score a point in his Panthers debut, only get a -1 for his effort.

He has produced 18 goals and 11 assists in 53 games this season with the Panthers' AHL affiliate in San Antonio. Wilson is projected to get into the lineup on Tuesday to try to help inject some offense. He didn't have a point in three outings with the big club last year.

Jaromir Jagr scored a goal and an assist in Florida's 4-3 win over Tampa Bay.

The 43-year-old was named the game's first star for his effort. Jagr opened the scoring at the 10:24 mark of the first period. He also picked up the primary assist on Aleksander Barkov's second period to give Florida a 2-1 lead. Jagr finished the game with a plus-2 rating and three shots on goal in 17:07 of action. The goal was the 717th of Jagr's career, which tied him for fifth on the NHL's all-time list with Phil Esposito.

Jimmy Hayes led the charge for Florida on Tuesday as they scored a 6-2 win over the Ducks.

Hayes picked up a goal and an assist in the victory, bringing his season totals to 16 and nine for a total of 25 points. The unheralded winger is almost definitely going to reach 20 goals now and stands a good chance of reaching 25. Dave Bolland matched Hayes' line with a goal and an assist of his own while Aleksander Barkov, Nick Bjugstad, Aaron Ekblad and Dmitry Kulikov also tallied in the win.

The Panthers were in a difficult position going into the trade deadline because they still have a real shot at making the playoffs, but are only just exiting their rebuilding phase. It had to be tempting to trade Upshall rather than risk losing him for nothing in the summer as an unrestricted free agent. That being said, the potential return for the Panthers likely wasn't that much. He has seven goals and 14 points in 46 contests and has spent some time in the press box in 2014-15.

Aaron Ekblad was a minus-2 in Florida's 2-0 loss to Dallas on Friday night.

Ekblad was on the ice for both of Dallas' goals and he was victimized by a Jason Spezza spin move on the Stars' second goal. Ekblad finished the game with four shots and one hit in just over 22 minutes of ice time. His poor performance on Friday night doesn't take anything away from his spectacular rookie season. The 19-year-old has nine goals and 31 points in 54 games in his first year.

Brian Campbell posted two assists in Florida's 3-2 win against Toronto on Tuesday.

His 15th helper of the year came on a power-play goal by Jussi Jokinen during the first period and his 16th set up Jimmy Hayes for what would turn out to be the game winner at the 13:48 mark of the second period.

The 24-year-old missed games against St. Louis, Toronto, Montreal and Ottawa. The Panthers went 2-1-1 without him. Shane O'Brien was sent to the minors to make room for Kulikov on the roster. He will play in Sunday's game against Pittsburgh.

Erik Gudbranson didn't play the first 15 minutes of Thursday's game against Los Angeles because of an eye issue.

He got something in his eye and required medical attention to remove it. Gudbranson concluded the game with 15:53 of ice time. He recorded a plus-2 rating in Florida's 3-2 victory and he was credited with four hits.

He found the back of the net for the first time in the NHL since the 2011-12 campaign when he was a member of the Minnesota Wild. Kampfer scored just after a Florida power play had expired to tie the game at 2-2 early in the third period. The Panthers won the game in a shootout. Kampfer has two points in eight games this year.

The win ends Montoya's personal two-game losing streak. Montoya allowed just one goal in the first 40 minutes of the game but he he was beat twice in the final frame to cut Florida's lead to 4-3. The 30-year-old's record improves to 5-6-2 on the season. The Panthers have now won two games in a row.
